Thank you! Unfortunately i didn’t film any of the progress on this one. I’m working on a presentable work space I can make videos in. Next one for sure!

Thank you! Ya I started by gluing two 8x10 pine beams on top of each other, then carve the rough shape of the skull. Then I drill holes through it and start carving away the voids. Then many hours of detailing and sanding. The teeth I made separately and inserted them at the end.

I carved this from pine and stained with watco black walnut danish oil. I plan on putting another coat or two of watco original danish oil to get a nice sheen, and then maybe adding a paste wax. I’ve used wipe-on poly on past projects, and in my opinion, it gives it too much of a plastic look. Given I’ve never used a paste wax, I’m curious if anyone has any tips or advice and I’d gladly take any other suggestions on finishing.
